Rum Balls Instructions
- Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the cocoa powder and rum to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the cookie crumbs to the mixture, mixing until a smooth, firm dough forms.
- Form the dough into small balls, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.
- Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
- Place the coated rum balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- If the mixture feels too soft to roll, chill it for 15–20 minutes before shaping.
- If the dough is too dry/crumbly, add a tiny splash more rum (or plant milk) until it holds together.
- Crush the cookies very finely for the smoothest texture and easiest shaping.
